Thought I'd throw in this pic. Many younger people may have never heard of a Simca.

Today, in the USA; I'd say you could easily find 50 Yugo's before you'd come close to finding a Simca.

Looks somewhat similiar to its comtemporary Fiat's.

When I was a kid, my Mother became a school teacher, and was looking for a good used car to replace her '47 Ford. She considered a mid 50's Fiat that a school band teacher offered, but instead thankfully ended up w a '56 VW bug which of course was much more practical.

It was bronze color with a black mini sunroof, and olive interior. Pretty cool!
Sunroof was literal vinyl like manual pull back. I'm surprised it never leaked
in Oregon's rainy weather!
